Ya know when you were little and people would ask you what you wanted to be when you grew up?

I always said a check out girl at the grocery store.

That’s right.

Big dreams.

That was back in the day before scanners. The cashiers had to type in all the numbers of the items.

Oh the speed of their fingers.

It was pure magic watching their fingers run across the numbers. I wanted my fingers to be magical.

But then as I got older and went to college there was no degree program for being a cashier.

So, I settled and got a degree in PR and Advertising.

The great news is that I can still fulfill my dreams of being a cashier by playing with a calculator any time I want.

And, while my cashier dreams have been crushed, now I get to hang out with people, plan parties and serve Jesus all at once. Good deal, huh?

So, in perfect party planning style…something special is happening in only 6 weeks…my Bitzy’s 1st birthday party!!!

Take in mind that she was born on October 30th, only one day short of my least favorite “holiday.”

Maybe the fact that I hate Halloween has something to do with the fact that my childhood torturer, Meanie, told me every single year in elementary school that I would be sacrificed by devil worshippers. Turns out that I wasn’t sacrificed, but I did spend every Halloween shaking in my Strawberry Shortcake boots.

Needless to say, I’m still totally freaked out by Halloween.

However, having an October birthday offers many opportunities for fall fun and decorating.

So, this year our theme is CANDY CORN.

Mama’s candy addiction + Mama’s Bitzy addiction + Party planning for a living = Best.Birthday.Party ever.

I’m soooo excited.

Wanna know one of the most exciting parts?

Bitzy’s outfit.

That’s right, she’s gotta look ultra fab. Duh.

So, on my quest to find the cutest little outfit ever, I happened upon Whimsy and Whirl on Etsy. After looking at her fabulous creations, I messaged her to see if she could do a custom candy corn onesie.

Thankfully she said YES!!!!

It’s true. I didn’t name my kid “Bitzy.” Do you feel like you’ve been lied to? I’m so sorry. Forget this ever happened and let’s move forward, mkay?

So, picture this precious onesie with a big beautiful orange, white and yellow tutu.

I know, right?! Precious.
